Non-observance of the following notes may result in personal injury or material damage (electric shock, skin burns, fire). The following safety and hazard information is not only intended to protect your health and the health of others, it should also protect the product. For this reason, pay attention to these safety notes and include these instructions when handing over the product to others.

This heat pad must not be used by persons who are not sensitive to heat or by other vulnerable persons who may not be able to react to overheating (e.g. diabetics, people with skin alterations due to illness or scarred tissue in the application area, after taking pain relief medi

This heat pad must not be used by very young children (0-3 years old) as they are unable to respond to overheating.

The heat pad can be used by children older than 3 and younger than 8 years of age provided they are supervised. For this, the control must always be set to the minimum temperature.

This heat pad may be used by children over the age of 8 and by people with reduced physical, sensory or mental skills or a lack of experience or knowledge, provided that they are supervised and have been in- structed on how to use the heat pad safely, and are fully aware of the consequent risks of use.

Children must not play with the heat pad.

Cleaning and user maintenance must not be performed by children unless supervised.

This heat pad is not designed for use in hospitals.

This heat pad is only intended for domestic/private use, not for com- mercial use.

Do not use when folded or bunched up.

This heat pad may only be used in conjunction with the control spec- ified on the label.

This heat pad must only be connected to the mains voltage that is specified on the label.16

The electrical and magnetic fields emitted by this heat pad may interfere with the function of a pacemaker. However, they are still well below the limits: electrical field strength: max. 5000V/m, magnetic field strength: max. 80A/m, magnetic flux density: max. 0.1 millitesla. Please therefore consult your doctor and the manufacturer of your pacemaker before using this heat pad.

Do not pull, twist or make sharp bends in the cables.

If they are not positioned properly, there may be a risk of becoming entangled in, being strangled by, tripping over, or stepping on the cable and control of the heat pad. The user must ensure that excess lengths of cable, and cables in general, are safely routed.

Please check this heat pad frequently for signs of wear and tear or damage. If any such signs are evident, if the heat pad has been used incorrectly or if it no longer heats up, it must be checked by the man

ufacturer before being switched on again.

Under no circumstances should you open or repair the heat pad (in- cluding the accessories) yourself because faultless functionality can no longer be guaranteed thereafter. Failure to observe this will invalidate the warranty.

If the mains connection cable of this heat pad is damaged, it must be disposed of. If it cannot be removed, the heat pad must be disposed of.

When this heat pad is switched on: – Do not place any sharp objects on it – Do not place any heat sources, such as hot water bottles, heat pads or similar, on it

The electronic components in the control warm up when the heat pad is in use. For this reason, the control must never be covered or placed on the heat pad when it is in use.

It is essential to observe the information relating to the following chap- ters: Operation, Cleaning and maintenance, Storage.

If you should have any questions about using our devices, please contact our Customer Services department.

IMPORTANT This heat pad is only designed to warm up the human body.17

IMPORTANT The heat pad is fitted with a SAFETY SYSTEM. This sensor technology provides protection against overheating across the entire surface of the heat pad with an automatic switch-off in the event of a fault.

IMPORTANT Ensure that the heat pad will not bunch up or become folded during use. It is possible to position the plug-in coupling at either the bottom left or bottom right of the heat pad. Please first check on which side the socket is closest. To change the position, open the zip fastening on the rear, remove the moulded foam part, push the plug-in coupling from the outside through the cover to the inside, and then guide the plug-in coupling back out through the other opening. Then re-insert the moulded foam part and close the zip fastening. Use at home or at work

Fasten the heat pad to the backrest of the chair by opening the two hook-and-loop fastening bands at the side (4) and connecting and closing them at the rear of the backrest.

First, connect the mains adapter to the heating pad by inserting the plug-in coupling (5).

Then insert the mains adapter (2) into the socket. The ON/OFF button with LED display (6) will flash briefly. Use in cars IMPORTANT

Under no circumstances use the hook-and-loop fastening bands at the side of the heat pad to attach it to the car seat! Doing so would impair the function of the side airbag!

Therefore, please close the side fastening bands at the rear of the heat pad, so that they do not interfere with anything and the hook-and-loop sections cannot damage the backrest. Once closed, they should lie flat against the rear of the heat pad. First attach the car fastening straps (7) to the car seat. Place the car fastening strap on the seat surface so that the smoother side is facing upwards. Car seat front18 Push the rectangular securing catch through from the front to the back between the seat and backrest, and orient the securing catch vertically at the back. Then attach the clip to the headrest support. To do so, slide the two ends apart towards the sides, as shown in the diagram. Then use this opening to guide the clip over the headrest support so that it can be closed again. Close the clip by pressing it together until it securely encloses the headrest support. The car fastening straps must not cross one another, be entangled, or be mounted with the loop side facing the seat. Now take the heat pad in your hand, open the covers of the 4 hook-and-loop points on the rear, hold the heat pad against your back with the curved side at the level of the lumbar vertebrae, and lean back against the backrest. Then check the hook-and-loop connection. If the hook part does not lie fully on the loop part, you can now correct it, continuing until all 4 points are securely fastened. You can change the position of the cushion at any time using the hook-and-loop fasteners on the rear of the heat pad. Removal of car fastening straps from car seat To open the clip, slide the two ends apart again towards the sides. Then push the rectangular securing catch through from the back to the front between the backrest and the seat. Car seat rear Headrest support19

5.3 Switching the device on

To switch on the heat pad, press and hold the ON/OFF button (6). The ON/OFF button will light up red. Temperature setting 3 – maximum heat – is active. NOTE Depending on the make, the 12-V socket in the vehicle may be activated at different times:

after opening the vehicle

depending on the ignition or on whether the engine is running IMPORTANT If the 12-V socket in the car is permanently activated, we recommend always disconnecting the car adapter from the 12-V socket when leaving the vehicle.

5.4 Setting the temperature

To change the temperature, briefly press the ON/OFF button. The switching sequence is 1-2-3-1-2 … Setting 0: OFF Setting 1: Minimum heat – lights up green Setting 2: Medium heat – lights up yellow Setting 3: Maximum heat – lights up red NOTE The fastest way to warm up the heat pad is to initially set the highest temperature setting. NOTE This heat pad has a fast heating function, which allows the heat pad to warm up quickly in the first 10minutes. WARNING If the heat pad is being used over several hours, we recommend that you set the lowest temperature setting on the control to avoid overheating the heated body part, which may lead to burns to the skin.

5.5 Automatic switch-off

This heat pad is equipped with an automatic switch-off function. This turns off the heat supply approx. 90 minutes after the initial use of the heat pad. The ON/OFF button is then no longer illuminated. You can switch the heat pad on again by pressing the ON/OFF button.

5.6 Switching the device off

To switch off the heat pad, press and hold the ON/OFF button. The ON/OFF button is then no longer illu- minated.

6. Cleaning and maintenance

WARNING Before performing cleaning work, always first pull the mains adapter from the socket/the car adapter from the 12-V socket in the car. Then disconnect the mains adapter/car adapter from the heat pad by unplugging the plug-in coupling. Otherwise there is a risk of electric shock or damage to the heat pad or adapters. IMPORTANT The mains adapter and car adapter must never come into contact with water or other liquids. Other- wise, this could damage them.

• Use a dry, lint-free cloth to clean the mains adapter and car adapter. Do not use any chemical or abrasive cleaning agents.

• Small marks on the heat pad can be removed with a damp cloth and, if necessary, with a little liquid de

tergent for delicate laundry. IMPORTANT Please note that the heat pad must not be chemically cleaned, wrung out, tumble dried, put through a mangle or ironed.

• This heat pad is machine-washable. To do so, open the zip fastening on the rear and remove the moulded foam part. Removing the moulded foam part means the heat pad can dry faster.

• Place the heat pad in a pillowcase and close it. The pillowcase will reduce the mechanical strain on the heat pad while it is being washed.

• Set the washing machine to a particularly gentle wash cycle at 30°C (wool cycle). Use a delicate laundry detergent and measure it out according to the manufacturer's instructions. IMPORTANT Please note that frequent washing of the heat pad has a negative effect on the product. The heat pad should therefore be washed in a washing machine a maximum of 10 times during its life. Remove the heat pad from the pillowcase immediately after it has been washed. Reshape the heat pad to its original dimensions while it is still damp and spread it out flat on a clothes horse to dry. IMPORTANT Do not use pegs or similar items to attach the heat pad to the clothes horse. Otherwise the heat pad may be damaged. Once the heat pad is completely dry, you can re-insert the moulded foam part and close the zip fastening. WARNING Do not reconnect the mains adapter or the car adapter to the heat pad until the plug-in coupling and heat pad are completely dry. Otherwise the heat pad may be damaged.21 WARNING Never switch the heat pad on to dry it! Otherwise there is a risk of electric shock.

If you do not plan to use the heat pad for a long period of time, we recommend that you store it in the original packaging. For this purpose, disconnect the heat pad from the mains adapter/car adapter by unplugging the plug-in coupling. IMPORTANT

• Please allow the heat pad to cool down before storing. Otherwise the heat pad may be damaged.

• To avoid sharp folds in the heat pad, do not place any objects on top of it while it is being stored.

For environmental reasons, do not dispose of the device in the household waste at the end of its service life. Dispose of the device at a suitable local collection or recycling point in your country. Dispose of the device in accordance with EC Directive – WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equip- ment). If you have any questions, please contact the local authorities responsible for waste disposal.
